کتاب درسی مراقبت های اولیه پوست خواننده را قادر می
سازد تا درک خود را از نحوه برخورد با طیف وسیعی از مشکلات رایج
پوست، مو و ناخن توسعه دهد. برای آموزش و تمرین پزشکان مراقبت
های اولیه که به دنبال یک راهنمای مرجع سریع برای استفاده در
عمل بالینی خود هستند و متخصص پوست کارآموزی که به دنبال پرایمر
در مورد این موضوع است، ایده آل است. همچنین برای سایر اعضای
تیم مراقبت های اولیه از جمله پرستاران، داروسازان، همکاران
پزشک و دستیاران بالینی مناسب است و برای پزشکان بیمارستانی و
پرستاران در رشته های دیگر که می خواهند به مشکلات رایج پوست
اشاره سریع و عملی داشته باشند بسیار مفید است.
This textbook provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the identification of a range of common dermatological conditions encountered within primary care. It features a problem-based approach to the topics and conditions covered. Clinical photographs, diagrams and pertinent tables along with clear learning objectives, clinical pearls and pitfalls in each chapter facilitate understanding in the diagnosis and management of a range of common dermatological conditions.
Textbook of Primary Care Dermatology empowers the
reader to develop their understanding of how to deal with a
range of common skin, hair and nail problems. It is ideal for
training and practising primary care physicians seeking a
quick reference guide to use in their clinical practice and
the trainee dermatologist seeking a primer on the topic. It
is also suitable for other members of the primary care team
including nurses, pharmacists, physician associates and
clinical assistants, and it is very useful for hospital-based
doctors and nurses in other disciplines who want a quick,
practical reference to common dermatological problems.
